Path

Browse to the location of the saved .xaml.

Name

Enter either an existing template name to overwrite or enter a new name to create a new workflow.

Deadline Date Type

Select either Calendar Date or Offset Date.

Deadline Date

Depending on the selection above, either a calendar or a selection of offset dates are displayed.

Subject

Select an available subject.  The workflow subjects returned are dependent upon the products for which your practice is licensed.

Enter details into the Import from File window, click OK to import workflow template.

The Workflow is automatically opened and the user is required to update all values with invalid entries. The workflow cannot be saved until all validations are addressed.

Note: depending on the workflow design, sometimes the import will add steps in a different visual order (they will be functionally correct, but may display in a different order on the homepage). This can be corrected manually by editing the workflow template.

Export to File

To export a workflow template, highlight the template to export and click Export on the ribbon bar.

The Save As window is returned.

The workflow template has been successfully exported.

Note:  Workflows exported from the Advanced Designer cannot be imported into Standard Workflows.
